Coffee
Joel Adams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I drink the coldest coffee in the morning
Wake up for a girl who never loved me
Thinking that she's feeling something but it's hopeless
Counting down the months before this one leaves
'Cause baby only leads me on, every night
Got me holding open crooked doors, faded lines
Rules she makes for me to please her soul but she'll leave
Whenever she fucking likes

So I've been drinking coffee in the
Morning just to wake up (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
'Cause caffeine leaks my mind and keeps me
Breathing through her fake love (ooh ooh)
I can't be in the right, she burns me every time
Thought that I'd be patient but I just can't take her spite
So I've been drinking coffee in the morning just to wake up (ooh ooh)

I hold on to the love we used to share together
Tied in with the good times we both had
Now we're slowly fading I know, more now than ever
She could never take me back the way I am
And every night is miserable, I can't forget
All the memories I counted on, when we made love
All the moments when she held me close
Now I know I'll never see that girl again

So I've been drinking coffee in the
Morning just to wake up (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
'Cause caffeine leaks my mind and keeps me
Breathing through her fake love (ooh ooh)
Can't be in the right, she burns me every time
Thought that I'd be patient but I just can't take her spite
So I've been drinking coffee in the morning just to wake up (ooh ooh)

(Ooh ooh ooh...)
(Ooh ooh ooh...)
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)

(Ooh ooh ooh...)
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)

So I've been drinking coffee in the
Morning just to wake up (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
'Cause caffeine leaks my mind and keeps me
Breathing through her fake love (ooh ooh)
I can't be in the right, she burns me every time
Thought that I'd be patient but I just can't take her spite
I've been drinking coffee in the morning just to wake up

(Ooh ooh ooh...)
